About Me

I am a recent graduate of Haverford College, where I majored in Psychology and minored in Health Studies. I am interested in educational and social psychology, and would like to go back to school to get a PhD in clinical psychology. In my spare time, I enjoy going on long runs, reading Russian novels, and attending Broadway shows. Through my five previous years of tutoring middle school, high school, and college students, I saw firsthand how diverse student learning styles can be. For example, one explanation of the concept of absolute value may be helpful to one student, but utterly confusing to another. I am a great tutor because I make it a priority to discover each individual student's problem areas and create unique lesson plans and methods of instruction. I am also extremely patient and thorough when reviewing concepts and practice problems; I am more than willing to discuss a concept two or three times in varying ways if that is what the student requires. Furthermore, I always make sure to communicate effectively with parents/guardians so that they are aware of their children's progress and understand the teaching landmarks I have set for the student.
